The instructor/supervisor will submit a formal complaint to CoD.

Students who do not meet the attendance criterion will fail with the letter grade “IA“. It is students’ responsibility to follow up with their intermittent attendance status throughout the semester. The instructor will not announce and/or disseminate the attendance status of the students.
  • PuQ
  • Homework, assignments, and other in-semester activities
    • In case the instructor announces homework and/or assignments, students are supposed to turn in them in time. Any homework or assignment which is not turned in within the announced period will not be evaluated.
  • Mid-Term Exam
  • Final Exam
    • According to the University rules, regulations, and guidelines (Chapter Five, Section related to the exams, Item 29, first clause [in Turkish]), mid-term exam will take place between the dates announced in the university academic calendar. Note that the exact date, time, location, and duration of the mid-term exam will be announced within the semester on the Istanbul Commerce University, official website. Furthermore, as stated with the item (c), each and every student should provide their official government ID cards and university ID cards with the exam proctors and bring all of the tools necessary for the exam.
  • Course logistics and organization
    • Students are responsible for checking with the course webpage for any announcements, updates, changes, modifications, and so on throughout the semester.

    • Numerical grades for exam results will be posted on the course homepage as soon as they are available. It is highly recommended for students to check with their exam results in time, which roughly covers the following week of the day on which the results are announced online. In case students feel that there might a problem in grading, they are encouraged to view their exam papers at the discretion of the instructor. Viewing the exam paper of somebody else is not allowed.

Grading Policy:

  • Assessment of the activities to be carried out throughout the semester is as follows:
    • [50%] Prior to The Final Exam Part (which consists of):
      • [20%] Homework, assignments, PuQ, and all other activities
      • [30%] Mid-term Exam
    • [50%] Final Exam Part
  • Based on the items listed above, a numerical grade is obtained.
  • Numerical grades will be converted into letter grades based on the following rules:
    • There will be a threshold value below which will be considered to correspond to “fail.” Value of the threshold will be determined by the instructor at the end of the semester.
    • A statistical curve will be applied to those students whose numerical grades are equal to or above the threshold value given that there is sufficient number of students to establish the desired statistical significance level. In case a sufficient number of students is not available, the lecturer has right to assign letter grades based on his personal observations and conviction taking into account in-semester scores obtained by each and every student.
